Don't Miss the FireLine Radio Show

September 18, 2008 – Don't miss a brand new radio show dedicated to fire fighter issues and hosted by Atlanta, GA Local 134 fire fighters Jim Daws and Jeff Hayes. The FireLine explores fire service operations, safety, training, tools, equipment, labor issues and politics. The show features expert guests and personalities from throughout the fire service, as well as a look at the lighter side of fire fighting.

This week's FireLine includes interviews with Texas fire fighters from the areas impacted by Hurricane Ike about rescues under the most extreme conditions. In addition, listeners will learn what fire fighters from across the nation can do to assist our brothers and sisters in this time of need.

The show also features special guest John Tippett, Director of the National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting Program, a voluntary, confidential, non-punitive and secure reporting system with the goal of improving fire fighter safety. John is a battalion chief for the Montgomery County, Maryland, Fire and Rescue Service with 30-plus years of service.
